grandkid visits - week 1

Jade was ready
for her week with a list of projects, a supply list for those
projects, and a menu for the week...breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At
14, she is a very organized young woman.

We had a lot of
fun, Jade and I. She really didn't need any help with any of the
things we did. Well, maybe a little, especially with the sewing
parts, but mostly all she needed was company.

We stayed up
late every night. Me, til midnight. Sometimes she stayed up longer.

We made bow
rings.

We made a tribal
necklace. Jade made a tribal
necklace.

We
cut down T-shirts and wove up the sides.

We
made her Oscar The Grouch Halloween costume into a bag to keep her
yearbook from school and a scrapbook in so it won't get messed up.

We
made pies and cookies. She turned her head when I lifted the camera.
'Nooo, Granny. I don't like the way it looks with my hair up.' She
ran off to the bathroom and fixed it and came back and posed for me.

We
made a dino hoodie.

Again
with the turning of the head.

The
week was over in no time. I took her home and returned with Robin.

You are so lucky to have them close and to have the valuable time to spend with them. I had so much fun getting to know my "new" granddaughter, Kyra. She is 15, and such a sweet personality. I miss them, even though they just left!

My goodness - what a different experience than those I had with my grandparents! I had fun, but they were older by the time I was born, and still very much rooted in the Old Country (Sweden). But my goodness - I did learn to cook! And had all the time in the world for swinging and reading.

PS - all your pics from the previous 3 posts are gorgeous. What camera do you use? I think I already asked you that and I know it is the operator [you] more than the camera, but I can't even come close to that. :)
